5,000 hotel jobs in Israel may soon be open to Filipinos — DOLE


There may soon be 5,000 openings for Filipino hotel workers in Israel, the Department of Labor said Tuesday.
A report by JP Soriano on Balitanghali said that Israel has expressed a preference for Filipinos to fill these job positions.
There are no job orders or guidelines yet, but Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III expects these to be ironed out in November.
"The pay is always very good. You know naman that our caregivers are receiving $1,350 to $2,000 a month…Probably [the hotel workers] will have the same emoluments," he said.
Certificates from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) are among the requirements for applicants who want to enter the hotel and restaurant industry.
Gerson Hernandez, an HRM Tesda student, said that the training is hard, “pero kung gusto mo, kayang-kaya naman po,” he said. He also mentioned that he wants to work abroad because of the good compensation.
According to the labor department, Japan and Germany have also opened jobs for Filipino workers.
Japanese Ambassador Koji Haneda said through the residency status the country is planning to offer, more skilled foreign workers will be able to get job opportunities in his country next year.
“In order to accept more foreign workers in Japan, we will create a new residency status for foreign workers with a certain level of expertise or skill from next year,” he said during his speech at the 44th Philippine Business Conference at the Manila Hotel Friday.
For additional information regarding these jobs, the labor department said interested applicants should wait for their advisory.
The labor department also warned applicants against illegal recruiters, urging them to visit the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration’s website to check if a job order is legitimate before they apply. — Joviland Rita/BM, GMA News

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
